Mr. Art O'Leary:

I will very briefly answer the question about the powers. The powers came from an examination of the challenges facing the people of Dublin such as transport, traffic, housing and homelessness, justice issues for policing and so on. That is where they came from. We did not get into the granular detail. We heard from transport specialists, people like Professor Brian Caulfield in Trinity, who spoke about examples from other cities. The granular detail the Deputy is looking for here as to how this is going to be implemented is not available in this report. It is probably for the next phase, the implementation phase. However, the powers stemmed from the challenges ordinary Dublin people encounter in moving around and living in the city and county. That was the starting point.
